    If you are entering long/lat you are using usals and so all sats will just reappear.
    Only diseqc do you need to individually scan when all settings are lost/channel lists changed etc..

    I could be wrong but it sounds like something is shorting your box m8 and factory resetting it. Only thing I can think of hand is a small piece of outer core wire touching the inner core. When your box cools the wire loses contact you would be better to try another receiver on your motorized system see if it zeroes that.

    Good luck

    Could be a failing LNB, loose connection, cable, or hardware fault, on your receiver.
    Can you check your receiver, on another dish? Even just someone's Sky dish.

    Just re-read your first post, does the cable go through the motor? Can you run the cable directly from the LNB to your receiver?
